UNITED STATES FEANK HAGEMANN, OF CISCO, TEXAS.

TABLE.

Application filed June 16, 1924. Serial No. 720,171.

T aZZ whom it may concern Be it known that 1, Fauna l'lAGEMANN, acitizen of the United States, residing at Cisco. in the county ofEastland and State of Texas have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Tables, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in ables, particularly tables forsell-service, and it the principal object of the invention to provide atable of this character which allows a diner to select and place withinhis easy reach. any dish on the table without disturbing his co-dinersor without needing the assistance oi a waiter or the attendant.

Another object 01" the invention is 'the brow" n of a table of thischaracter which silo a ready adjustment of the rotating table withrespect to the stationary table, and a locking of the parts in theiradjusted relative positions.

further object of the invention is the prc ision 01" a table of thischaracter which can be readily mounted and taken apart for crmvcnientstoring. v

The invention is particularly adapted for use in lunch or dining roomsas it takes up a comparatively restricted space only and can a cheaplyconstructed from any suitrzcrial such as metal.

liurthrr objects and advantages of my invention will become more fullyknown as the description thereof proceeds and will then be morespecifically pointed out in the a upended claim.

" the accompanying drawing, forming iterial part of this disclosure Figre 1 is a front elevation of a table constructed in accordance with myinvention.

Figure 2 larged scale.

Figure 3 is a detail view of a supporting cap element.

As illustrated in the drawing, the table comprises the customary plateresting upon the supporting members 11, provlded with feet 12 madeintegrally therewith.

A tubular connecting member 13 is interposed between the supportingmembers 11 which are attached thereto by means of screws 1a or the likeengaging spacing plates or bands 15 between the upper parts able is asectional View on an on of members 11 and the tubular member 13,integral with the said tubular member. The supporting members 11 havesuitable re cesses 16 formed therein in order to allow ready access tothe heads of the screws 14.

The lower end of the tubular member 13 engages the bottom plate of anopen cap 17, the upright side members 18 of which are space lir'oi11each other and provided with perforations 19 for the passage of screwbolts or the like by means of which the cap 1'? is held against thelower end of the tuiuilarmember 13. The cap 17 has a corn trully locatednipple through the pcrfora tion of: which an adjusting screw 22,proriucd with a handle 22 at its lower end is passed, the upper end ofwhich engages within the tubular member 13, the lower end edge or a bar23 located for vertical dis- I placement within the member 13 andextending through the top thereof above plate 10 to carry a servingtable 24 or the like. The conically shaped head 25 of the screw 22engages a similarly shaped seat in the lower end of bar 23 so that thesame can smoothly turn therein in order to allow a rotation of table 24carrying thedishes r'rom which food is to be served and bring thesedishes within easy reach of a diner.

It will be evident that by the removal or" screws 1 1 and bolts 20 andloosening of screw 29., the table may quickly be taken apart as theplate 1Ov rests loosely on the horizontal members 26 of the supporting Imembers 11 held thereon by its own weight. The upper table 24 may beelevated to any convenient distance above the table plate 10 and held inthe adjusted position by means of the proper adjustment of the screws22.

"While the drawings and description illustrate and describe thepreferred embodiment of my invention, it will be clear that such changesmay be made in the general arrangement and in the construction of the.

minor details of my invention as fall within the scope of the appendedclaim without departing from the spirit of my invention.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is: p

A compound table comprising a non-tiltable main plate, an auxiliaryplate rotatable thereabove, supports on which the main plate looselyrests in a fixed plane said supports diverging at their lower portions,a

tubular member rigidly bolted between said supports, a conically,pointed screw extend ing axially upward into said member, the head ofsaid screw being accessible between said supports, and a spindlecarrying the auxiliary plate, said spindle being guided in said tubularmember and seated on the point of said screw whereby said auxiliaryplate maybe raised or lowered relative to the main plate.

In Witness whereof I have affixed my signature;

FRANKHAGEMANN.
